Hos Around The World (Well, at least the U.S.)

You may or may not have heard about the Chuck Flash Mobs that organized in Seattle, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Chicago last Monday. Well, let me just say that if you weren't there, you were definitely missing out. I can't speak for Seattle and Philadelphia (and San Diego for that matter, though I'm assuming the Martian Ho run mob was a guaranteed success); but Chicago's was...Well, awesome.

I was nervous about the outcome. Originally, around 50 people signed up to be a mobber in Chicago's Millenium Park. But Sunday rolled around (the day before the event), and e-mails started flooding in, apologizing that some couldn't find a babysitter or couldn't get the day off from work. It was sad, and my hope started to diminish.

It was then Monday. I sat alone on a bench in front of the bean. I wanted to shoot myself (but not really). But suddenly, people started coming. In all, probably 16-18 people showed up. I don't know for sure, because I was too excited to take count. I was ecstatic, because I had only met fellow Chuck lovers/Chuck-a-holics in California for Chuckfest. I figured that was the only way to meet and mingle with them. I was so wrong. It's definitely dubbed CHUCKago now. Chicago Chuck fans are amazing. To all you guys that went, I really can't thank you enough. I freakin' love you guys.

So we went around, chatted up some tourists, businessmen, and native Chicagoans, trying to get them familiar with Chuck. It was a fun time. Afterward, we went to Subway and geeked out in our love for Chuck for another couple hours. You won't get to see that in the video below, but all you have to know is that none of us ordered a tuna-roni sub.
